Why don’t we swing by Indiana?
Can I hitch a ride with you old man?
Cause I gotta see my baby!
Can I hitch a ride with you old man?
Cause my gal lives in Dixie land.
Can I hitch a ride with you old man?
Cause my gal lives in Dixie land.

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Well then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Hey Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

Rudolph

The renegade arctic deer
Was born with a nuclear nose
And if you ever, ever saw it
You would even say it glows
(Like a light bulb)
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
(Like Pinocchio)
They never let
Never ever let
Poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one dark and stormy night,
Santa came to call
Rudolph with your shiny snout
Do me a favor, help me out

Then all the other deer loved him
As they partied and shouted with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

Well, it’s Christmas time pretty baby,
And the snow is falling on the ground.
Well, it’s Christmas time pretty baby,
And the snow is falling on the ground.

You’ve been a real good little girl,
And Santa clause is back in town.
(And I brought you some presents baby).

Got no a sleigh with reindeer,
No sack on my back,
You’re gonna see me comin’ in a big black Cadillac.
Oh, it’s Christmas time pretty baby,
And the snow is falling on the ground.
(it’s like powdered sugar hunny).
Oh, you’ve been a real good little girl,
Santa Claus is back in town.
(Santa’s left the building baby, he’s coming for ya.
You know baby,
a man gets lonely up at the north pole,
just surrounded by elves and reindeer.
Baby, I think its time I come down to Memphis,
for some good old southern lovin’.
Maybe some bacon, peanut butter and banana sandwiches on the griddle.
Some pigs’ feet flavored eggnog.
Ginger bread houses made out of Spam.
Get a fruitcake and dip it in beef gravy with a side of pork ribs,
Baby, have you ever had a candy cane made out of mayonnaise?
It’s delightful.
Oh, I’m poppin’ out of my jump suit here.
Baby, hang up those stockings,
And turn off the light,

You’re gonna hear me coming down the chimney tonight.
Oh, it’s Christmas time pretty baby,
And the snow is falling on the ground.
(looks like frosting coming off a doughnut).
Well, You’ve been a real good little girl,
And Santa Claus is back in town.

(Oh, I’m havin’ a heart attack, hold on for a second).

Well, You’ve been a real good little girl baby,
And Santa Claus is back in town.
Whoa

(Come on, Rudolph make a left over there by the Denny’s
Daddy’s gotta get some sugar-free plum pudding,
A quart of eggnog and a mince-meat pie.
Merry Christmas very much

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

God rest ye merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Hey, remember Christ our savior
was born on Christmas day.
To save us all from Satan’s power
when we were gone astray.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

From God, our heavenly father,
A blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same.
How that in Bethlehem was born,
The son of God by name.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Ohhhh,
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

A day or two ago,
I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright,
Was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, lean and lank.
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We got into a drifted bank,
And then we got upsot.
Upsot?

It was Christmas Eve
My friends were all in town
We were singing Christmas carols
As the snow was falling down

And I don’t know for certain
how it happened, or who’s to blame.
But someone at that party
Ought to be ashamed.

Tell me who, who spiked the eggnog?
I know the culprit’s here.
Who, who brought the booze?
To the Christmas party this year.
(Who spiked the eggnog!)
Tell me who, who spiked the eggnog?
It smells like rum in here.
Who, who snuck it in?
We’re gonna feel it tomorrow I fear.

The first round went down easy,
The second, one nice and smooth.
By the third my head was spinning around.
And that’s when I got the clue

To tell me who, who spiked the eggnog?
Come on and show your face.
Who, who brought the sauce?
Look out, I’m on the case!

(Hey! Was it Randy?)
With a flask of brandy?
(DR?)
He was by the bar!
(What about Rome?)
He was all alone!
Hey I saw Dan,
With a bottle in his hand!

Tell me who, who spiked the eggnog?
They’ve all got guilty eyes.
Who, who’s got the grog?
It’s gotta be one of these guys!
(We like the eggnog!)
(More eggnog!)

Chuck and Seggie were sneaking around,
Mike looked guilty to me.
Tyler’s curled up on the couch
Might have been Walt,
Could have been Walt,
Probably was Walt,
Must have been Walt.

Hey! Don’t look at me!
I just got here!

Tell me who, who spiked the eggnog?
I know the culprit is here.
Who, who’s been hiding the hooch?
At the Christmas party this year.
(We love the eggnog!)

Tell me who spiked the eggnog?
Tell me, tell me who could it be?
Hey, it’s pretty good stuff!
Who knows it could have been me!
You?
Yea!

Hey guys, This is Bud from Bartlesville! We would like to book you again for a three-day/three performance gig. ConocoPhillips brings in a show for their employees each year and they would like to have SNC next year! Please talked to Andrea for us! Dec 6-9, 2010.

I saw/heard SNC for the first time last week on PBS.
My sister and I were blown away. She's already bought the cd and I got her and her husband tickets to their show in April.
OUTSTANDING group of guys.

Hi guys. I saw you on the tele for the first time tonight on a local PBS channel. I instantly fell in love with your style, your look, your antics and jovial spirits. I heard your Christmas Can-Can last night on a satellite radio station and loved it...but did not know who was singing it. Now here you are again...and I am loving it. I have the TV show recorded, and I will be watching it again. I looked into when you might be appearing in our area, but no info available for that yet. (She sniffs...:o) ) I would LOVE to own your Christmas CD! Keep up the excellent singing!!!

I found SNC last year just before X-mas. It was joy at my office with this sounds, now what can I say...I'm thrilled. The 2'nd album of X-mas songs...it's great....I'm one of those who seen the 1'st version of "12 Days of Christmas" on youtube and I consider myself lucky for that.
HO HO HO! Merry Christmas Everyone!

I think you guy's are truly AWESOME!!! my wife and I have not stopped playing the songs on this site and the show last night i taped so i can continue to watch...i even played it for my 18 and 21 yr old and they loved it...well think about it what's not to love?
See you all in Hartford in April!!!

Just attended their first Kansas Concert in Junction City! WOW - fun indeed and what great sound and blend of such great voices. SNC has bright new sounds to traditional and modern music. Highly recommend their new Christmas CD ~ Christmas Cheers. Thank you guys for a fun evening to a full house.

LOVE your music! I am from Biloxi, Mississippi and saw the PBS special out of New Orleans, LA last week, and was automatically HOOKED! My Husband sings acapella but nothing like you guys! I have to get the cd! I have shared the website with all of my co-workers and family! Keep up the good work and know that you have a growing fan base in Mississippi!

Just found and played "The 12 Days of Christmas for 6th grade students as part of a math activity. The kids went wild! Your music was definitely the highlight of the class period. A couple of students couldn't wait to get home to check it out on iTunes. :) -new fans in PA

It would be so cool to have a CD/DVD combo so I can see you in my house as well as listen to you in my car. That PBS special was a knockout! I wish I could see you on Dec. 21 - 22 at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA but it appears to be SOLD OUT. Do you have an plans to record those shows and release them as DVD's? Congratulations on your success! And thank you for your gift of music and entertainment.

Thanks for having all tracks of Cheers here on the website. I've been listening to it all day. Love it!!!
Can I buy it in stores as opposed to online? Leaving for xmas overseas in two days and want to take a couple CDs with me as gifts, but don't want to risk delay of mailing.

I heard your version of The 12 Days...on the radio the other day, but didn't catch who was singing, so I emailed the radio station today to find out. Before they even had time to respond, I accidentally came across your PBS Christmas Special. I guess they call it fate! :) You guys are fantastic! I now know of one (or 3) things I can get my mom for Christmas, who is a music teacher & will LOVE your albums! Hope you'll be in Ohio sometime soon!

Our local DJ at Lite96.9 played The Twelve Days of Christmas by you guys on Friday and I thought it was absolutely wanderful. Just had to go out and buy the CD, but got there and got a bonus. I found both Christmas CDs. You guys are great. Hope to hear you on the radio a lot in the near future. Keep up the good work.

My Mom stumbled across a Christmas Special you guys recorded on PBS. I absolutely fell in love with your group. I've been obsessing for the past day. I admire you guys so much. I was member for choirs and Glee Club's for some time in my Elementary and High School Years. Isn't there any chance you might come to Puerto Rico whenever? Almost impossible. I know.
